Peach and Blueberry Crisp

Peach season is here! Go to the market and pick yourself up a basket of fuzzy peaches.

You can tell a peach is ripe when its fragrance becomes extremely sweet, almost like someone has sprayed peach perfume into the air, I love it. The downside though is when a peach is ripe, you have a VERY short time to eat it, preserve it, or make something delicious with it. That’s where my recipe for Peach and Blueberry Crisp comes in.

Peach and blueberry make a great pair and are even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This dessert is meant to be rustic, so you don’t even need spend time peeling peaches – the whole recipe is oh so easy!

Peach and Blueberry Crisp

Ingredients

5 cups sliced peaches (about 5 medium peaches)

1 cup blueberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

¾ cup large-flake rolled oats

½ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup flour

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

½ cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F.

Mix together peaches, blueberries and lemon juice in an 8 x 11-inch baking dish. Set aside.

Combine oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingers, work the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles a coarse breadcrumb (there should be no large butter clumps). Mix in almonds.
